Clattenburg was cleared on Thursday of racially insulting Blues midfielder John Obi Mikel in the game against Manchester United last month.

The Blues have refused to apologise to the Durham-based referee, who returns to work tomorrow as the fourth official at the Tottenham v West Ham encounter.

He will resume refereeing duties on Wednesday when he takes charge of the Premier League game between Southampton and Norwich.

Mikel has been charged with misconduct for threatening and insulting behaviour near the match officials’ changing room after his side’s 3-2 defeat to United at Stamford Bridge.

Clattenburg’s bosses, the Professional Game Match Officials, will compensate the 37-year-old for loss of earnings after he was left off the referees’ list for three consecutive weeks following the allegation.

It is understood Chelsea plan to make some sort of gesture over the affair, which could see them cover the cost of the compensation.
